Wax Slugs?

This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating 'wax slugs' by coating birdshot pellets in wax and reloading them into a shotgun shell. A destructive test comparing a standard birdshot round against a wax slug fired into cinder blocks shows the wax slug's significantly higher destructive potential due to concentrated energy transfer. The demonstration is presented by Tática Civil, highlighting the effectiveness of this homemade projectile.

This video details an advanced experimental attempt to push .22LR velocities beyond factory specifications using modified nail gun blanks. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistics and firearm modification, explores various power levels of blanks and their impact on velocity and firearm integrity. The experiments highlight the extreme dangers and limitations of such modifications, ultimately concluding that dedicated cartridges like the .17 WSM are necessary for achieving 3000 FPS.

This video appears to explore the feasibility and methods of creating "riot console rounds." While the specific firearm platforms or calibers are not detailed in the provided data, the title suggests a focus on ammunition modification, potentially related to less-lethal or area-denial projectiles. The content likely delves into the technical aspects of reloading or modifying ammunition for specialized purposes. Given the subject matter, it could involve discussions of ballistics, material science, and safety considerations, appealing to individuals interested in advanced ammunition concepts and potentially gunsmithing or experimental ballistics.

This video explores the compatibility of AR-15 triggers with a 12-gauge shotgun, specifically the Derya Arms DY12. While the shotgun features AR-15-like aesthetics and some compatible components, a direct AR-15 trigger swap proved unsuccessful due to internal design differences, particularly with the hammer mechanism. The test highlights that visual similarities do not guarantee functional interchangeability of critical components like triggers.

This video demonstrates how to create a 'cut shell,' a modification often applied to shotgun shells. While the specific firearm or context isn't detailed in the title or description, the process itself is related to modifying ammunition for potential use in shotguns. Such modifications can alter the pattern and performance of the shotgun shell, and are sometimes explored for specific shooting applications or as a gunsmithing/modification technique. The video likely focuses on the practical steps involved in this process.

This #Shorts video demonstrates the one-handed firing of a custom Form 1 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun. The shooter, Booligan, anticipates and confirms significant recoil, expressing slight regret after the shot. The video highlights the extreme nature of such a build and the challenges of controlling a heavily modified firearm.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
